To What Do I Owe the Pleasure

to this life i live
for every breath i am 
forced to breeth
to this existance
where i have a voice
to the places 
where i have no choice
to the reasons 
that i toil
for the child
that was not spoiled
to intentions that
motivated my invention

what am i ?
who am i ?
and where am i going?

what's guiding my feet to
where they are going
what guides my thinking
to what i am knowing
what inspires my voice and hand
to speak and write what i am

what does my future and past  say
about my today
and if i die will my mission
be compleat
did i say enough
did i write enough
did i do enough

to who and what do these things matter

to me? what do i have?
to God? oh God what have i done?
to the world? yes, i left my mark
maybe a bruse but not a scar

i reached for the stars
climbed the mightest mountian
and gave 110%
and you say my reward
is with in me

all i can say is 
please don't ask me 
to do it again
i couldn't put myself throught it
except to know that 
next time will be harder than this time
that what didn't kill me last time
might kill me this time

has my spirit been broken 
or my gold been refined
how strong do i look 
brokendown crying


A Smile

Sometimes smileing is the hardest 
thing to do
Knowing what I know, seeing what 
they do

Sometimes I think my smiling is the 
thing that makes things worse
It"s hard hard to think my smiling is 
the cause of my curse

Sometimes I think by divine design
My best plans are twarted
My hopes and dreams would just 
unwind
If something was what I wanted

If I could give my smile away
Joy would be disburst
My smile would try to fill the day
With the happiness it rehursed
 
My smile wants to smile
But instead tears they burst
Tears that come unwillingly
But from a natural birth

Tears that tell the secret
Tears that reviel the fears
Tears of untold sorrows
Tears from all the years

A million and one things
Could be hidden with a smile
Is a smile worth giving
With heart breaking all the while

Who would suspect the smile
The master of deceit
Smiles they go unquestioned
They make the deal compleat

But this day a day I did not choose
A day for my soul to sorrow
Today my smile I will not use
But save it for tommarow

A smile unabused a little less used
Ready for the world
But while this meloncholy stays
My smile will go unfurled
art

Part I Memo

Dr. Smith,
  Friend and colleague. It is to my compleat and professional embarasment.
That these vicious  rumors that have reached your ears...
That I through these many years
secretly admired you
And upon news of your engagement
was reduced to tears
I have become the butt of office laughter
Putting in question my career and professional standard
under scrutiny ever her after
Let it not be said that I did not value your friendship
or in secret hope wish for something more....
Let me rephrase that .
That I did not always wish for you the best.
And that when opportunity presented itself
that I would try to prevent
you from going through the door.
Please, do not believe the rumors
that say my heart is sore
If marriage makes you happy
then be happy ever more
Please don't think that after your marriage
any less of a friend I'll be
I'm sure that in time 
my loyalty you will see
and as for those tears everyone did see
They were tears of happiness 
from me to you, you see
What else could iI have ever dreamed
when it comes to you and me
Sincerly
Dr. Lang

Premium Member The Waitress

It’s her and not the Waffle House
That bids me come that way
Not the food or awesome prices
But her smile that feels like pay
Her beauty has me blooming
With stares and look and see
And as she takes my order
No other place I’d want to be
Her movements have me craving
The all she is to me
While simply wearing a uniform
She awakens my need to be
The kindness of her service
Would cure any lonely condition
There something more that arrives
Not coming from the kitchen
It’s not the place with something to eat
That turns that something on that’s missing
And never mind the jealous eye’s
That are there just like mine 
Wishing that they were kissing
The cries and lies that beacon time
And suggest a cozy meeting
My turn that often comes and goes
with my always ever seeking
Away to be a little more
With would be love that's creeping
Imagine this a beautiful wife
Compleat with ring and hair
An overdose of happiness
Where few brave souls do dare
I settle for just the stolen moments
With my precious loving care
Glad to be without the worry
Of the eye’s that wink and stare

The Replacements

sense when did Isreal replace the Nazi's as 
an evil oppressive regime
how in the world did it let APARTHIDE! 
become it's terrible theme
why are it's officers acting like
the old German SS
terrorizing citizens, women and children
in distress
aren't they the people who from Egypt
God set free
who from time to time, God reminded;
foreigners are just like me
aren't they the people saved from the 
holocost
why would they do to others 
from what they were saved from 
and nations fought
just look at what happened over there
at first i really didn't care
"they deserve it" i said to myself
everyday saying "they're doing it to themselves"
then the Palistinians said they won the war
and at first; i couldn't see
but for a man who loves Israel
yet blind, i cannot be
my prayer is still for Isreal 
when it is compleat
that it will be peaceful and not evil
and with foreigners live in peace

One Wish

i imagined finding a bottle in the desert sea 
all encased with jewels it mystified me
i open up the bottle 
and out comes a puff of smoke 
it swirled all around
but did not make me choke
then out of no where 
a form began to appear
it was you, my jennie
popped up from nowhere 
you are my magic jennie 
with power to grant my every wish
you wait for my command 
but truly i am thoughtless
you are my wish 
and nothing else would do
when it comes to wishing
i have no more to do
you and nothing else would satisfy me
you and nothing else would compleat my dream
you and nothing else would i write into this scene
you and nothing else would i make my queen
thoughtless yet am i 
to all material things
your presence is my answer
to my sweetest dreams
your beauty is my treasure
such a wonderous thing
your spirit is my light
to you i'll always cling
so here to you i'll say
and lets be on our way
you don't have to be a jennie
just be mine everyday

Father's Room

Homeward, on an hungry belly
En-route a quick long trek, perhaps
It’s the hard day-after-day norm
And the poor little boy is mind-full
He deserves some respite– 
and even more
If only to furnish a compleat cycle

But, couching in an utopian suite,
was miles from the priority– 
‘twas scarce and sparse;
like rainfall in the Sahara
Maybe it had to be invented-
a make-shift

Not a very likely pick really:
Plastered with harmattan dust
Everywhere strewed with literature
and scrap
and other features
of sanguine entropy
But no more of pleasurable comfort

Howbeit, with serenity and quietude,
it was his choice 
Preferred above the Burj

Such was the incubator his mind reveled in -
Sandwiched like a worm in a book
in the tranquility of darkness

And when the dawn enters
It does with refreshing enthusiasm, 
For there was enriching activity
in father’s room

Name That Tune

you light up my life
and have made me compleat
the one i would kiss 
each day of the week
a year and three months
to this very day
i spoke to you last
before you went away
many tears have sence fallen
and screams i let out
just like laughter
uncontrolably out of my mouth
my greif scourges me
every where i went
yet to others i looked content
each day i kiss your picture
and say i love you to your name
i guess they're the thing i do 
to keep from going insane
all these thing must have added up
to a small message from the God i trust
early early this  morning 
after i woke up a music box
played just a few notes
you light up my life
were the notes that it played
shocked and awed i was dismayed
but when i found the box that had played
it was the one i gave you 
because of the song it played

If

22 years ago when i was 22 and you were 44
       could we have had the same dream
                      the same  heart
        the same feelings on a dance floor

        could not Cyrano teach me to score
              me,the man in the iron mask
              on the other side of the door

  could not Shakespere live just once more
 and render a sonnet that would open that door

      then i would beacon Orpheous to sing
    of the love he lost in Hades forever more

              it is to hear a song so sweet
               a short verse so compleat
                  with a feeling so neat
        that i would sweep you off your feet
          then we would dine at loves feast

Bowled over, kneading you, feeling sub-lime
from my head tomatoes. Hear my heart beet!
Eggcited, wonton you olive the thyme.
Donut you carrot all for me at yeast?

You’re one in a melon, sweet sugar pie,
forbidden fruit I find so appeeling.
Cherry on the cake, apple of my eye.
Has there bean love? Don’t berry the feeling.

It’s a big dill and takes two to mango.
I’d sacri-rice all because you compleat me.
You oat to love me. Peas, love miso!
Just food for thought. Chew that fat with your tea.

I have so mushroom in my heart for you.
A pizza your heart? Say yes, honey - DEW!
